No first round pick for pending UFAs. Not in the cards for Anaheim, we can afford to wait until FA if we want a shot at Hanafin.

Anaheim would be stupid to trade that pick. 100% in the top 5

Except he will be traded and extended by then

Maybe not, got good offense, just need better D

Hanifin's isn't going to fix their defense remotely enough to get them out of the bottom 5

Whether the Ducks end up with a lottery pick or not, they aren’t moving their 1st, especially for something they have the best prospect pool of

IF NYR wanted Rooney we would claim him off waivers. Now if you can retain 50% then that trade would go through

That assumes Hannafin doesn't want to test the market. Next year's UFA market is expected to be great, if we can't get Hanafin, we'll get someone else if we want. I don't think we're a bottom 5 team this year, but we are still a lottery team, so moving that pick is a poor idea.

You sound like Habs fans from last year that thought MSL, Slafkovsky, and Dach were going to make them a bubble team last season. Hanifin is a good hockey player but he is not nearly enough to mend that blueline
